Sports stars are learning what politicians have started to learn — in today’s media environment your comments are not just heard by the small audience in front of you. Your comments are national, they are everywhere. (Politicians love to tell each audience what they want to hear, but do that today and the inconsistencies in your stances quickly get pointed out. As they should.)

Remember, Cleveland had the first pick in the draft and nobody knew what they were going to do with it. Oladipo was in the mix, but Cleveland took Anthony Bennett No. 1, so the Magic took Oladipo No. 2.

Oladipo’s comment plays well in that room, but then the official Magic twitter account tweeted (and has since taken down) the comment, and it was out and running on the Web.

Cleveland fans, who have some scars from players that didn’t want to play for them and are a tad sensitive on that matter, fired shots at Oladipo. In response Oladipo tweeted.

Sorry to all the cavs fan if I offended them in anyway making the comment I made I didn't mean it the way you all took it.

I don’t think Oladipo was being malicious here, maybe he was seeing that they had Dion Waiters at the two (and Kyrie Irving at the one) and saw a logjam. Everybody in the draft has preferences. And he told the audience in front of them what they wanted to hear.

The lesson here is simple: All your comments are national. Please act accordingly.

They could have had Jerry West and Gail Goodrich in Cleveland, and what he said would still have had absolutely nothing to do with the players. It is what it is, he didn’t want to go to Cleveland. Other than the Cleveland politicians and the Cleveland business creeps that are compensated to shill for that nuclear waste site, who does?

Orlando is not a bad place to be in the Winter months of the NBA season. Cleveland? Meh.

Plus, as everyone knows by now….no state income taxes in Florida. And they are a team on the rise. Not this year, but they are setting themselves up pretty well. Cleveland is also a team on the rise, but as was mentioned, Victor’s position on the floor doesn’t really make sense in Cleveland with what they already have. And I simply can’t imagine Kyrie Irving staying very long, unless they make it to at least the Eastern Finals. But he’ll leave.
